Attachment to ADC 382
Type Pack Code Conversion Guide Update

1. ORIGINATING SERVICE/AGENCY AND POC INFORMATION:

a. Functional POC: Defense Logistics Management Standards Office, DLA J-6251, (703)
767-5111; DSN 427-5111

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA:

a. Primary/Secondary Functional Area: Supply

b. Primary/Secondary Functional Process: Transportation

3. BACKGROUND:

a. Indicate Procedures, transactions, data elements, processing details in use today: The
logistics domain uses the Type Pack/Packaging Code Conversion Guide to support the Defense
Logistics Management System (DLMS) conversion to the legacy Defense Logistics Standard System
(DLSS). Specifically, it converts X12 Data Element 103 (Packaging Code) to the legacy DOD codes.
It is located at: http://www.dla.mil/j-
6/dimso/eApplications/LogDataAdmin/dimsansiconverguides.asp. The Defense Automatic
Addressing System Center (DAASC) also uses this guide when converting DLMS to DLSS and DLSS
to DLMS based on trading partner profiles.

4, PROPOSED CHANGE(S):

a. Describe Requested change in detail: The current X12 code mappings for Truck and Van
Chassis are incorrectly stated. The X12 and DOD code mapping for Envelope is missing. Finally, the
DOD 4000.25-M, Appendix 4 URL for the Type of Pack Conversion Guide needs to be updated. The
code changes, additions and URL update are shown in YELLOW highlighting below.

1) Code Changes:

DOD Code Name/Definition X12 Code
EN ENVELOPE ENV
TK TRUCK FBU-TRU
vc VAN CHASSIS VKP-VPK

2) DOD 4000.25-M, Appendix 4 Change:

_ b. Indicate Proposed Procedures:

1) Update the URL in the DOD 4000.25-M, Appendix 4, Logistics Qualifier *A as
indicated in Paragraph 4.a.2).

2) Update the Conversion Guide as indicated in Paragraph 4.a.1).

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: This update ensures that all logistics domain stakeholders have the
correct URL for the Type Pack Conversion Guide. It also corrects erroneous X12 conversions for
Truck and Van Chassis, which resolves any data quality issues that may be prevalent. Finally, it
authorizes the use of “Envelope” as a type pack code, which is consistent with the United States
Transportation Command Reference Data Management (TRDM) repository.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:
a, Advantages (tangible/intangible): Improves data quality/accuracy.
b. Disadvantages: None.
7. IMPACT:
a, There are no changes or new DLMS Data Elements introduced by this change.
b. DAASC: Needs to update their conversion guide.

ec. IGC: Needs to update their conversion guide associated with logistics domain DLMS
transactions.

d. Logistics AIS’: Need to update local tables and applications to reflect the current mappings
as indicated in this ADC.
